Hi all, my new BA arrived finally! I have decided to keep it afterall. I am a total n00b at this stuff, and really struggle to understand the Wiki site. However, I did manage to download XDA tools and backup my ROM.
I then downloaded the PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200 ROM from the FTP site. It said it was going to update my Radio and Ext. ROM too. Anyhow, it comes up with the country code error.
I added that line of script into the file but it still has the error. Any ideas? I thought the iMate 1.40 ROM was supposed to work on the XDA2s.
I really want a more stable device. Are there any other ways to do this? I tried using XDA Tools to upload the NK part of the iMate ROM separately, but it said it needed to be an exact size to work.
What is the best ROM? We couldn't even figure out how to cook and Ext. ROM so if anyone could give me a hand it would be much appreciated. The Wiki assumes you know what you're doing but I really have no idea.
Cheers guys - Mike x
You don't need to use XDA Tools it you're using a standard manufacturers ROM, just the No ID program for the device ID shortcut.
I had to add the country code ID in too, but after that it was golden. Not sure what's up with you...

If you are on O2 UK and want the imate ROM that also has O2 settings for GPRS, MMS etc, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24000&highlight=
It's a set of instructions that I made using the wiki, as well as info other members had given me, particularly mdaIIIuser to upgrade a UK O2 XDA IIs to the imate 1.40 without having to enter GPRS settings etc manually afterwards, and still keeping the country code to O2 (which means you can use an official O2 upgrade later , without any problems, if they ever get their arses in gear!)
If you need any more help, let me know and I'll do what I can. If you have an ftp site you want me to upload my upgrade files to, PM me with the details and I'll send it you. I'd put in on the ftp here, but i don't think it's worth taking up so much space with a customised ROM.
HTH,
Fin
OK guys, I managed to upgrade my device to the latest iMate ROM, and the 1.13 radio ROM
Problem now is cooking my Ext. ROM. I know I can't update the Ext. ROM that came with the iMate ROM. I want to put my 02 settings in, but I really don't know how. It won't let me put my old 02 image back on the phone, it says the USB is not connected properly
Does anyone have the .nb1 of the 02 Ext. ROM?
Sack that. I downloaded the newest 02 Rom I could find and extracted just the ext. Rom file from the .exe
I am learning
which o2 rom did you use? if it was the uk rom you will have problems as it is 1.31 and your rom is 1.40. you need to unlock the extended rom and copy the base rom 1.40*147 then add your o2 cabs and anything else

Hey thanks Findus, your guide was great.
Yea, I put the 02 1.3 extended ROM on. I didn't know what else to do.
Do you mean the base extended ROM of the iMate 1.40 ROM I put on? I tried that, and there is no Config.txt in the iMate extended ROM.
Sorry, I don't understand this too well

I did not do anything with upgradetools.rar but the device seems to be working fine. I haven't made a call yet as I'm cut off. Does this mean I don't have to do it?
Chers -Mike
Glad to have helped, although I can't take credit, I got all the info from thw wiki and other posts!
Have just been trying to upload my Extended ROM, it is a modified version of Cooked ERK 1.4x Base that can be found in the wiki under ERK 1.40 . This version of the EXT ROM does have a config.txt, you were probably looking at 1.40.176? All I did was add the 6/7 O2 CABS to the config.txt of the base rom, then changed the caller id cab to 1.20 from the link below:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Caller ID/IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB
You will probably have some problems with the Ext ROM you have on at the moment, because you haven't got any of the patches for 1.40 which might mean GPRS etc might be unstable.
I will try and upload my Ext ROM again later if you want, all you will need to do is unlock your ext rom, delete the files, and copy over the new files. DO a hard reset and you're away!
Good luck!
Fin
OK, I don't understand.
I just delete all the files (aside from the 02 setup ones) of my current ROM and put these ones in? I don't need to upgrade the Ext. ROM bith the BAUpdate thing?
No, you won't use the BA Upgrade itility- that is for reflashing, which if you had a ms_.nbf file(extended ROM installation file) you would need. There is no tool to edit ms_.nbf files on Blue Angel, instead you have to unlock the Ext ROM manually, copy/delete files, update the config.txt then do a hard reset. Takes some getting used to- I was used to using er2003edit with my Himalaya to make a custom ms_.nbf file, but hey, this method works too!
Good luck,
Fin
Hey man, I already did it! Well good! It's based on the Qtek ROM you reccommended with the o2 stuff added in and the caller ID updated.
now running:
ROM version: iMate 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10.05
Radio version: 1.13,00
Protocal version: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.147 based on the Qtek cooked for use on 02 UK
My phone hasn't required a single hard reset all day and is still recieving calls (with sound) and messages
Thanks everyone!

Hi
I am about to get an XDAIIs to replace my falling apart PDA2K.
I want to use it on Vodafone.
Is there a real 'idiots' guide to putting the latest and greatest ROM onto the XDAIIs.
(I really do mean idiots guide by the way).
Cheers.
Robin
Hello Everyone,
I just joined this forum as i was able to buy a QTEk with the following details:
Version de ROM : 1.13.74 ESN
Version de Movil : 1.04.02
Version Protocolo : 42.37.P8
Version de ExtROM : 1.13.169 ESN
As I am more fluent in English than Spanish, I wanted to upgrade my ROM to English, but also I would need to Backup the ROM of the spanish version so if there are problems with the phone, I can flash it back to the original manufacturer installed ROM.
What program do I need to Backup the ROM (and restore in the future) before I start fiddling?
Also, I heard that I can erase Extended ROM. As of now, what can I use the space that I will gain from erasing the contents of the Extended ROM?
Also one thing i noticed is that some of the keys have rub marks coming from the upper part of the universal (the screen) I think they touch eachother when it is colsed. Is this a factory defect?
Finally, I don't know where to register and get support for my QTEK. Where do you download/search for patches? Where do I register this device? Should I have gotten an i-mate instead?
Thanks in advance for all your comments, guys.
Jorge
GUYS?!?
Hello Anybody out there?
I have posted this message 2 weeks ago, a few views but no answers so I'll go ahead and update you on what's happened:
Thanks to BUZZ_LIGHTYEAR I was able to RAW DUMP my Spanish ROM to a File which I exchanged for a decoded nk.nbf file from an unpacked English ROM Update (the QTEK WWE) then I encoded the RAW file so now I have a new nk.nbf file which i pressume is the Spanish verion.
I'm not sure if it'll make a difference that the rest of the files are in English but will this update any UNIVERSAL to the Spanish verion? Anybody needs Spanish ROM and is willing to test this out? I can send you the Files needed? If it doesn't work you just have to flash back to the English. I haven't tested it yet because my device is originally Spanish so I have no fallback ROM if it doesn't work. But I followed BUZZ's instructions and I don't think it's gonna cause a problem.
Hmm,
seems this topic is very boring to everybody here, oh well....
Anybody has similar case of rubbed-out keys on the keyboard?
Just to show that there are persons available reading and having an opinion
Left and right of my keyboard, a little lower then the keys itself there are two outstanding rubber ? pads ? protecting the display from touching the keyboard, be it in portrait or landscape mode. So no, I do not have this problem.
Ruud
Mine have the rubber stuff too, Maybe i have them a little low... Could I possibly get a replacement? I don't think this can be considered wear-and-tear as i only had my phone for 1 month..... And the "damage" was caused by open/closing of the phone. Not using of the keyboard.
I would say certainly worth a try.
Good luck.
Ruud
i need spanish rom
I bought my qtek 9000 from O2 (UK) by ebay, it works great, but i need spanish software, i'd like to probe MoviStar, vodafone (if available) and free Spanish versions. I also need instructions or manual, i flashed a xda2 once, but i can't remember how i did, i think i put it in a special test mode. Thanks.
I have posted the QTEK Spanish ROM in the uploads section. Please look for it. Both OS and Extended ROM are there.
Just download the OS, and run the "noID" file to upgrade your QTEK to Spanish. Just remember that also the keyboard will be configured to Spanish (which has the "Ñ" character) so you have to re-map it back to whatever keyboard you have. You can search how to do this in the forums.
Just download the 2 said files, then you can upgrade your ROM. These ROM's are dated OCTOBER 2005
what do i need for backuping my system to a sdcard?
Im not sure. I backed-up to my PC. I think you can search here for grab_it program that dumps to SD card but i'm not sure it will work for WM5 or Universal
Well, how did you backup system to your pc?
and thanks again.
Actually, what i backed up was my OS nad ExtendedROM. No personal customizations.
You can see in my second post that i was able to do it thru steps i saw at BUZZDEV.NET thanks to buzz-lightyear.
It's under "how to d2s dump" you can follow my story there on how to backup ROM. Esentially it copies your operating system to a file on your PC which you can then install on another device after encoding/decoding.
I have posted my Spanish QTEK ROM on the FTP site so you can change your QTEK to spanish if you want.
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:
ROM Version
ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version
Extended ROM Version
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:

ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version

It is not a shipping ROM but you need 2 files:
1st: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK Spanish ROM (1.13.74 ESN).rar --- This is the OS ROM
2nd: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK ExtendedROM.rar --- this is the Extended ROM
i have the spanish extended rom, but the jasjar don´t reconice ?¿
thanks for alll
You have to install first the QTEK OS ROM then copy the Extended ROM after. Where in Spain do you live?
You can call me if you need more help. But i speak English, my Spanish is MIERDA
where unlock ?¿?

Hi,
I originally wanted to back up my MDA Pro before tinkering with the ROM and such, but after a friend assured me that it would be on the xda-dev FTP I just went ahead and flashed an O2 ROM.
Everything went fine after a bit of hacking, but then I realised that the only MDA Pro ROM on the FTP was a UK one.
The ROM and Radio ROM versions are the same, and as the dutch MDA Pro was english anyway I think those are OK. However the Extended ROM only contains the UK network settings, and not specific NL settings
In the Uploads directory I've found the files that should be in the Extended ROM, but not the files I need to quickly return to default
Would anyone know where to find the files to flash the MDA Pro back to the factory default (NL) ROMs ?
Thank you,
TB

Already found those, yet I can't quickly flash those back. I'd have to flash the UK ROM's and then add some hacks to edit Extended ROM and add those manually.
And even then, the device wouldn't be factory default and I'm not sure if T-Mobile would accept that in case I ever need to return it for warranty
Can somebody upload the latest Greek firmware (AKU2) from Qtek Hellas on the ftp server?
Or give me a link somewhere else to get it?
Thank you....
This rom is useless as it requires a valid IMEI from Qtek Hellas.All other IMEIs are blocked and you cant use the rom...
I have the rom anyway so i can upload it in case you are still interesting.
Thanks for the reply Looter
Please upload it if possible; I want to check if the Qtek works as a PDA only with the Greek rom.
I do not use the phone part at all anyway (where the IMEI is important i guess).
If it does not; i am mostly interested in the extended rom part....
Thanks again; Asxetos
Here's the link
But as mentioned before, ROM is locked to Qtek Hellas IMEIs only:
http://www.qtek.gr/9000_firmware.html (you have to register in the Qtek forum to able to dowload it)
ROM version: R 1.09.00 / G 42.42.P8 / D 1.30.77 / GR 2.0.1 (02/04/2006)
Guys, would i be asking for the Greek rom here if i could get it from Qtek's forum?
I know the rom is locked to certain EMEI's and i know you have to be registered to the Qtek's forum to get it.
Now that is a bit tricky since they ask for a valid IMEI during registration.
So, if somebody can upload the rom or has a link for it (and want's to share it), please do.
Thanks again....
Anyone????
Den ksero pios anevase tin ROM pou zitisa sto upload, alla efxaristo poli...
I do not know who uploaded the ROM i requested, but whoever you are
thank you.....
Sorry for the delay but i was busy the last days.
I have the rom for a long time but it is really useless.
If you find any way to upgrade and use a phone with a non Qtek Hellas IMEI please let me know.
Kind regards
Christos

I am also interested in this Greek rom, can you please tell me how come that it doesen't work with another imei?
Locked!
Someone linked to this rom from another thread, which I installed. I had no idea it was Greek and would lock the phone. He linked to it stating that A2DP worked fine after installing it.
I tried hopping passed the installation of the additional software, but apparently the lock is built into to ROM itself and not tacked on after.
Now what do I do? How do I install a normal ROM.
Nevermind!!! Apparently, ActiveSync is active even in configuration mode.

Because the ROM checks the IMEI to see if it valid first. Very irritating.
Asxetos:
Why do you even want the lastest Greek ROM? The only differences are that you can have WM5 translated, write Greek on the hardware keyboard and send 160chars SMS in Greek.
The last 2 you do with 3rd party software... is the Greek UI in WM5 that important?

Hi,
I have a french HTC P3300 that is delivered with TomTom.
Unfortunately, TomTom is included in the WM5 rom.
I would like to flash to WM6 but will I loose TomTom?
If yes, can i retrieve it in any way with the serial number?
Or is there a way to dump my WM5 rom with TomTom to be able
to downgrade to the original form in case of problem?
My HTC is not locked on any provider, I bought it on amazon.
Thanks

I would have thought that Tom Tom comes on a micro sd card rather than as part of the rom.
Otherwise any update now or in the future would be futile as you will lose it.
Has the phone got a memory card in it?
If yes use active sync to browse to the storage card
do you see any cab files for tom tom on there?
let me know and I wil try and help.
alternatively contact tom tom and tell them your serial number and I have been told you can download tom tom software free but just need serial number to use it and also have the maps.
Finaly if it indeed is stored on the phone are you sure it isnt on a disc of some sort that cam with the device.
I will try and help whre possible but give more detail in your post. ie what you have tried etc
Si tu n'as plus tomtom intégré dans la nouvelle rom, tu peux installer l'installeur officiel. Si tu ne le trouve pas, je peux te l'envoyer.
Ce que je me demande, comme toi sans doute, c'est si un carte achetée et activé sous la ROM WM5 marchera toujours... Bref, le numéro de série, restera-t-il le même ?
magpie2000k, I baught my micro sd seperately so I donn't think that i'll find any cab on it exept the one of the tomtom upgrade. I am at my office and don't have activesync here, i'll try when I get home this evening.
I have a cd delivered with my phone, and with a wm5 sn on it, could it be a restor disc? how can i check if there is in fact the install for tomtom on it?
DrakkoFR, i'll stay in english as it is the rule of the forum. The official install could be interesting. I don't have it so i would be interested in it. But how can I register on the TomTom site for futur updates? And yes, i don't know if the maps will be recognised.
Tank you both for your answers.
The easiest way:
copy all the files from \Program Files\Navigator to Storage Card\Program Files\Navigator.
After flashing just create shortcut (using i.e. resco Explorer).
This will keep all your settings and maps activation. And you will save up some space and a time...
I done like this and it works on my xda orbit.
There is no need to install tomtom any more.

There is a working solution nicktheshaft, I use this to run tomtom all the time no problems, and it basically allows you to run tomtom from the memory card with no instal to your p3300, saving about 5mb of ram also.
1-With your WM5 rom loaded simply copy the folder tomtom from your p3300 (my device/program files) to your memory card root, (the folder should contain tomtom navigator.exe, data chk file etc.)
You can test this by uninstalling tomtom after you have copied the tomtom folder to sd card, then running tomtom from this folder on sd card, i.e tomtom navigator.exe
You then upgrade to WM6 and create a shortcut from the folder on your memory card (create a shortcut from tomtom navigator.exe in this new location on your memory card, and put it in my device/windows/start menu/programs), you will then be able to assign a button to launch tomtom from the settings menu.
thank you all for your advises...
I think I am soon going to flash to WM6 )
Is the flash easy? Do I just run the update or must I Unlock the CID knowing that my HTC is not operator locked?

Mate you must run USPL first then your rom of choice.
USPL removes the CID problem and then flashing should be a breeze.
Note that when flashing with USPL you device will return to what apperas to be a normal state (ie it lokks no different and has all contacts etc intact.)
This put me off at first because I couldnt see that there was any difference. I have now flashed a number of devices and used USPL over 30 times and not once have I had any problem at all. If in doubt read the idiots guide thread I think about half way down on the first page is a full written process of how to do it. Follow it and all will be well.
I am using B&B 3.7 from Tom and it is great has no issues with TOMTOM working. yes it has one or two very minor bugs that irritate rather than annoy. But these are certainly acceptable for the benefits of the WM6 and the rom interface that it has.
Photo contacts is a dream.
Shortcuts to everything you need. I very rarely use the stylus now even my fat fingers can navigate through and it becomes a truely one handed device.
When I had original rom i had to use stylus all the time. Thanks to Tom that to some extent is a thing of the past. Still use stylus for writing texts and emails but thats about it.
good luck and I am sure you will not be dissapointed.
Maybe i'll give it a try.
What are these little bugs?
Does the VOIP work on this version?

Questions questions questions
The bugs are minor.
In the dial pad you have to go into call history to redial last number. There is a fix but you lose the lovely large buttion dial pad I beleive (its no great shakes.)
when typing a phone number iut is green in dial pad and not easy to see what you have typed. again very livable and probably a fix somewhere ie a registry tweak or something. As I normally dial numbers of people in my address book it very rarely causes me a problem.
The others for what they are I cant remember you tend to find work arounds that in time become the norm and then arent bugs at all if you catch my drift.
I dont believe you will regret it.
VOIP works for me

yes, it always is. just don't forget to flash your device first with pof's USPL. then you can flash it with any rom you want. what french rom do you have? is it htc french rom? or m650? with the htc rom you may not have any probs, but i'm not really sure with m650, it usually has problems with gps functionality when flashing with a different rom. but just to be on the safe side, it is always useful to have a backup of your original rom, incase something goes wrong.
and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER forget.... number one rule: ALWAYS flash your device with pof's USPL each time you want to flash your device with another ROM.

hope everything goes fine for you. even if your phone's unlocked, if you had problem flashing the rom, try pof's. it does work wonders!
